I think she wants to show her brother Baron

that he is not the only one who can win.

Winner and New Champion!

Baron, Absolutely Agape Heartthrob can add the title “Champion” to his name.  He finished his championship in style.  Our team went to the Bichon Frise National Specialty May 7 & 8.  There were over 100 dogs in attendance.  Baron was awarded Best of Winners and Best Bred-By-Exhibitor.

It’s thrilling to see our boy doing so well.  We’re still “flying high” and probably will be for some time.

Canadian Champion American Champion Craigdale Sheramor Romio Rox

August 6, 1999 – May 1, 2015

I had the privilege of being Roxee’s breeder.  During whelping, an e-mail came from Sheri, asking if I had any Bichon Frise puppies.  Sheri wrote very eloquently of the reason she wanted a Bichon and told of her plans for caring for the puppy.   Later she visited and even brought a gift basket for the puppies.

Roxee was one of three puppies.  She was always the first to try new things.  She was very smart and very adventuresome

Here's a picture of Roxee's family.  Ben, her Dad is on the left.  mother Duchess is on the right.  In the basket we have Gidget and Max and in front is Roxee.

Roxee was a little charmer.  Sheri says Roxee changed her life.  She is the dog who introduced Sheri to dog show handling and grooming.  I can picture Roxee at the shows.  People would come by and admire the dogs.  Roxee LOVED the attention.  She would see someone watching her and she’d start the Pat-A- Cake show.  She’d start off slow and work up her speed.  People were captivated and by the time she was in the ring, she’d have her own fan club.

Roxee's early days in the show ring.

Roxee brought much joy to everyone she met.  She was a special girl and we’ll miss her.

What a good, happy boy!  No matter what new experiences came his way today, he

met them with confidence and a smile on his face.

His owner has described him as “Perfect.”

We are conscientious about health testing for our dogs.  Today four dogs went to the dog ophthalmologist here in Bellingham.

I’m happy to report that Zeke, Poppy, Baron and Flo-Jo are clear!
